The Padres announced Saturday that Jarred Cosart underwent successful surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow.

The bone spur in his elbow caused Cosart to miss his final two starts of the regular season. He'll be sidelined for the next six weeks before he's able to resume throwing. The club believes that he'll be fully recovered and ready to go for the start of spring training. Oct 22 - 1:25 PM

Padres manager Andy Green announced Friday that Jarred Cosart will undergo surgery next week to remove loose bodies from his elbow.

The right-hander had his 2016 campaign cut short due to inflammation caused by the bone spur in his pitching elbow. It's just a cleanup procedure, so Cosart should still be able to have a fairly normal offseason and should be fully healthy and ready to roll for spring training. Oct 7 - 8:19 PM

Cosart is dealing with inflammation and what the Padres believe is a bone spur in his pitching elbow. It's possible he'll opt to have surgery to get it removed, although we should know more after Tuesday's exam. Cosart posted a 6.00 ERA over 13 starts this season. Oct 2 - 9:52 AM

Cosart exited Saturday's start versus the Giants with what the Padres think is a bone spur in the righty's elbow. He's almost surely done for the season. Cosart holds an ugly 6.00 ERA over 13 starts this season. Sep 25 - 3:18 PM

According to Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Christian Bethancourt was recently clocked at 97 mph while facing live hitters in Arizona.

Bethancourt has also been developing a changeup as he prepares to work as a pitcher in the Panama Winter League. The 25-year-old made two relief appearances for the Padres in 2016 and looked pretty good, allowing just one hit over 1 2/3 shutout innings. He hasn't hit well enough to establish himself as a reliable major league catcher, so the Friars will stretch this experiment and try to catch lightning in a bottle with Bethancourt's big arm.

Jabari Blash (finger) has been shut down for the rest of the 2016 season.

Blash has been sidelined by a sprained left middle finger since mid-August. He will rest his injured digit for the next 4-6 weeks. The Padres hope he will be able to play at some point during winter ball. In 71 at-bats with the major league team this season, the 27-year-old outfielder hit just .169/.298/.324 with three homers and five RBI.

Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune reports that Colin Rea underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Thursday.

The Padres had been hopeful that he would be able to avoid going under the knife through rest and rehab, but Rea felt renewed discomfort after a throwing session earlier this week. He'll miss the entire 2017 season and hopes to be ready for the start of the 2018 campaign.

Capps, who was acquired from the Marlins in the Andrew Cashner trade, missed the entire 2016 season following Tommy John surgery in March. He's reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab and could be ready for the start of next season.
